Kardea Brown's Chopped Italian Sliders _ Delicious Miss Brown _ Food Network

**A Delicious Block Party Sandwich**

I've got some of my favorite deli meats I've got plenty of salami, some smoked turkey, pepperoni, and of course provolone cheese. All right so I'm going to give the meats a rough chop first then I have some toppings I'm using some of my favorite toppings for the sandwich I have some banana peppers, some tomatoes, some onions, and lettuce and the great thing about it is that you're taking a little bit and stretching it because you're chopping it down into little pieces. I'm also making this into a slider now normally when you see this sandwich it's usually served on a hoagie roll but because this is a block party there going to be a lot of people out there it's just easier to put these on sliders.

Okay and I'm just again giving my meat a rough chop and I've kind of already diced some of my veggies on top just to make it a little easier for myself. This um sandwich reminds me so much of my days when I lived in New Jersey, South North and South Jersey, I would go to like the corner store in the neighborhood and get my sandwich, remember even living in North Jersey and like this was my goto lunch every day for work was getting a sub getting a bag of chips and a drink.

**A Personal Touch**

I've also got some banana peppers here, banana peppers are way more Tangier than hot you're just getting a lot of that acid and vinegar. Some red onion, some tomato and what I like to do is actually add my lettuce in once I mix it up cuz I don't want my lettuce that get super super wilted. Chop because these are going on sliders, I I want this chopped cuz I don't want those big pieces to kind of fall out of that slider bread.

**Assembling the Salad**

I'm going to chop up my meat and put it into this bowl right here, the trending videos is that you see people doing this like directly on their cutting board, I don't like that I think it's a little messy so what I like to do is just chop up my Meats my veggies and my cheese on The Cutting Board and then put it into my bowl and make the salad in my Bowl.

I'm going to chop up my lettuce just a little bit more as well, I have some Romain lettuce here again just giving it a rough chop actually going to push this to the side. All right super simple dressing I have some mayo all I'm going to do is just add an Italian dressing that I love having in my fridge um I usually make it from scratch aboutt like a week or so ahead of time and just kind of have it hanging around for my salads and in this case for my sandwich.

It's just like your standard Italian dressing some olive oil, some Parmesan um some vinegar and spices like dried basil oregano and parsley. I'm going to save a little bit of this for my next recipe, I'm actually making a pasta salad with this Italian dressing all right mix it up and I'm going to toss that with my chopped Meats cheese veggies and lettuce.

**The Final Touches**

I'm adding Mayo to this because if you order a sub I have to have Mayo on my sub so I usually when I order my Subs I'll get mayo and then once they put all of my toppings on it I usually ask for oil and vinegar on top, so that's basically what I'm doing with the salad. That looks good okay all right now to this bowl I'm going to add my lettuce and that dressing just add a little bit at a time cuz I don't want to make this super soggy, oh yeah that's a chopped Italian salad.

Wow all of the beautiful colors of the meats and the veggies and the lettuce. That looks delicious before I add it to the Buns I'm just going to give it a taste wow that's good the cured meats with this dressing oh my gosh that is wonderful, All right eating and talking okay I'm going to clear my board up and grab my sliders I got some sliders here that I've kind of sliced down the center all right so I'm just going to take my chopped salad here and just add it to my bottom bun.

Oh yeah this is definitely going to be a hit at the party, and if you make it at home it's going to be a hit at your party too. It's kind of messy it's supposed to be that, I find that some of the messiest foods are the tastiest Foods add my top bun top it off and this dish is done all right the fun part take it apart, oh yeah I'm just going to take a bite wow this is like everything you love in your standard sub but it's in a bite-sized form and it's chopped and it's just un flavorful bite.
